As far as people asking what the contract was worth . . . pretty much no one's business. My family was proud that there are still people who play professional baseball who are in it for the game and NOT AN EXTREME amount of money, especially those who think they are worth more than they really are. Once you put your Gulf Coast Jersey on, it really didn't matter where you were drafted. The fact you got drafted and proven to be one of the top 1500 baseball players in the US is amazing!!!!

LOVING LIFE IN FLORIDA WHERE BASEBALL IS YEAR AROUND!!!! And yes that had a huge impact on where he got drafted. Look how many kids from the northern states got drafted compared to the southern states. That Ebert kid had to leave North Dakota and go to Florida in order to get drafted. Ryan would've went way higher had he lived in FL. Aside from that, it doesn't matter anymore . . . he's on his career path now that all of you will only dream about and no one can take that away from him.

This had to have been corrected and I'm sure it took some time. I saw he was closing some games, which means he must have some more pop on that fastball now.

Do you know or have heard how hard Carr or Shirek or Hoerst or Ebert or Lorenz throw now and how their doing? Also, how did Elgie do at Kansas? What do you expect from the kid going to Arizona? I agree with you on the lefty statements, but I do have one comment. In ND HS baseball it may effect some players with getting used to, however, in college ball and past high school, it isn't that big of a factor on hitters, especially right handed hitters like HS. My main point is did you see any of those lefties go anywhere after HS? The lefties that are valuable are ones that can throw it 90+ or ones that have special arm slots or great breaking stuff. A lefty has to have half the stuff of a right handed pitcher to play at a high level.baseball wrote:I truely think people under-estimate how much of an advantage a lefty has compared to a righty when it comes to the MLB draft. a 6'3-4" lefty in baseball is like a 6'11" guy in basketball. there's a kid with one arm who signed a D1 schollarship for basketball, he's a 7 footer.
Look at the stats:
Orioles - 9 lefty, 20 righty
d'backs - 6 lefty, 17 righty
Braves - 4 lefty, 17 righty
these are just 3 teams yea, but its like that all over the league.
it's that way in high school too. in the 06 state tourney, Jordan Grover shut down Thompson and gave up something like 3 hits. There were pitchers who threw harder and had a better breaking ball, but when the ball is coming at you from the other side of the plate it takes a while to get used to it. Shane Schoenberg from Jamestown, threw maybe 65, I dont remember ever beating him when he pitched against us. Tanner Lorenz from Harvey, threw 85-88, i dont remember ever losing to him when he pitched.
riders said it best, if he stayed in Florida he would've just been another kid who threw in the 80's and was left handed. maybe it would have helped him get drafted higher, but maybe he wouldnt have got drafted at all if he stayed. numbers likely wouldnt have been as good and certainly wouldnt have been the one getting all the ink for his team. Who knows, maybe if he was from the Dominican Republic he wouldve been the #1 pick!!
